B16, just had the block built with wiseco pistons and h beam rods, slight OS pistons, all new bearings and assembly done at proff garage.

The engine is very quiet at idle, start to make a slight knock when driving in a straight line, nothing major, think this may be to do with the bigger clearances for the pistons? but as soon as i start to turn right, lightly on the gas, the engine makes a horrible droaning noise and the knocking gets worse, rising with rpm. Turning left has the opposite effect and the engine returns to being quiet.

Ideas guys????

 

I would check your pulleys sounds like it has something to do with your power steering.........are you sure its not a cv joint bad

 

loose belts can make knocking noises

 

hope is not your thrust whasers on your crankshaft maybe they forgot to install them. check for side to side(back n forward) movement.

 

missing thrust washers can make the crank move and cause some probs obviously.
I had a friend that bought a new EP a couple years back and it would knock and shut off everytime he turned a certain direction. The dealer couldnt figure it out until they tore down the motor and found there were no thrust washers in the stock motor.
